This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Ford Motor Company has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1995 model Taurus and Sable passenger cars.

Safety Defect
On some of these cars, the retainer that connects the brake pedal to the master cylinder pushrod may not have been properly installed. An improperly installed or missing retainer could result in loss of vehicle braking. This could occur without warning and result in a vehicle crash. The vehicle parking brake system would be unaffected.

Repairs
At no charge to you, your dealer will inspect the pushrod retainer of your car for proper installation. Dealers currently have instructions and parts ordering information.

How Long Will It Take?
The time needed for this service is about one half hour. However, due to service scheduling times, your dealer may need your vehicle for one full working day.

Call Your Dealer
Call your dealer without delay. Ask for a service date and whether parts are in stock.

If your dealer does not have the parts in stock, they can be ordered before scheduling your service date. Parts would be expected to arrive within a week.

When you bring your car in, show the dealer this letter.

If you misplace this letter, your dealer will still do the work, free of charge.

Changed Address Or Sold The Car?
Please fill out the enclosed prepaid postcard and mail it to us if you have changed your address or sold the car.

If the dealer doesn't make the repair promptly and without charge, you may contact the Ford Customer Assistance Center, 300 Renaissance Center, P.O. Box 43360, Detroit, Michigan 48243. You also may send a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590 or call the toll free Auto Safety Hotline 1-800-424-9393 (Washington, D.C. area residents may call 366-0123).
